Very delicious food! Indoor and outdoor dining. Nice vibe and relaxing.  Food is absolutely delicious! All pasta I think is homemade or just very fresh! The gnocchi with the beef cheek was soooo good - so tender and soft! The rigatoni is slightly baked - yummy and the tagliatelle is awesome!! Would come back again! We also ordered the pear salad with Gorgonzola cheese

Very delicious food! Small portions but fresh, homemade pasta with tender fillings and meats!nnLoved the gnocchi with beef cheek; tagliatelle with scampi and rigatoni! The pear salad was super fresh!nnIndoor and outdoor seating availablennFriendly staff.

Glad we chose to dine here. They serve Roman-style pizzas cooked in a stone oven with an open fire which were really good. However, the ventilation of the restaurant should be improved. I could smell the smoke from the oven when we entered the restaurant which affected our dining experience.

Food's alright, definitely not worth the high prices. Have had better Italian all over the globe including on my visits to Italy but IMO Croatia has the best seafood pasta & risotto anyway . My tagliatelle was too dense/doughy, the flavor of the sauce was decent - but lacked depth and richness, maybe it's cos there wasn't enough of it. It had just a few tiny pieces shellfish mixed in and for the $49 price tag that was a bit of a shock. The pear gorgonzola salad was nice. And mushroom pizza was pretty good. We'll probably go there 1 more time because we have a gift card this time with family from overseas, hopefully they'll do a better job though, cos my family's best friends are Italians who are fabulous cooks and always recommend the most delicious Italian restaurants to us, so they are a little picky when it comes to Italian food and based on my last visit they won't be impressed with Francesca.nnI liked the atmosphere of the place, the artwork was hauntingly beautiful, and I loved the mason jars as lights on the ceiling. The service was though the host almost seated us by the toilets and for an anniversary dinner we reserved in advance that was quite disappointing, so I asked for a different table. Maybe keep that table for walk ins?

Very nice Italian food. Pizzas and starters were superb. Get the the balloon bread, its really really good. Oven smoked a bit, but otherwise its great!
